What does Johnny Walker claim to be building from the south of dead cats?

• A. A bridge
• B. A statue
• C. A flute
• D. A boat

Answer: (C)

This question tests your recall of a line from Murakami’s surreal scenes where Johnny Walker talks about assembling something strange out of death. The image of building a flute from the south of dead cats fits the book’s blend of eeriness and craft, turning something associated with decay into a musical instrument. A flute is a small, intimate object that makes sound, which aligns with Johnny Walker’s knack for transforming odd, macabre sources into art or music. The other options describe larger, non-musical projects that don’t fit the eerie, craft-focused mood of the line. So the best match for what he claims to be building is a flute.
